The dependencies of an application are identified by intercepting application programming interface calls made by an application. A determination is then made at the runtime of the application as to whether the dependencies of the application are present. If the dependencies are not present, a client device upon which the application is executing is configured such that the dependencies are present and are made available only to the authorized application. If the dependencies are present and the application is authorized to interact with the dependencies, the application is permitted to execute.

Satisfying application dependencies

When a request is received to execute a virtualized application, an application virtualization client component evaluates an execution policy to determine if the application may be executed. If the application virtualization client component determines based on the execution policy that the virtualized application may be executed, the application virtualization client component publishes the virtualized application. The application virtualization client component publishes the application by making the virtualized application available for execution if the application is installed, and installing the virtualized application if it is not installed. The application virtualization client component also evaluates the execution policy during execution of the virtualized application. If the application virtualization client component determines that the execution policy is no longer satisfied, the application virtualization client component unpublishes the virtualized application, thereby preventing execution of the virtualized application.
